Avanti Cafe Musings: Rubbed Salmon w/ Brocolli Rabe & Baby Apples

Ready. Chef. GO! Rubbed Salmon for Ovenor BBQ

Chef Mark Cleveland

450 Oven or Open BBQ Grill

4 Servings

1 1/2 Tbs EVOO

1/4 Cup Dry Vermouth or Broth

3-4 Cloves Garlic, rough chop

1/2 Pound Broccoli Rabe, Broccolette or Rapini

3/4-1 Pound Fresh Wild Caught Salmon

1 1/2 Tbs Chef Mark’s Seafood Spice Blend*

3-4 Baby Apples

Rough chop the rapini and add to the BBQ bag, making sure to put them on top of the parchment layer. Pour over the evoo, vermouth & garlic. Cut the salmon into 4 pieces & rub w/ the spice blend & lay on top of the vegetables in the bag. Cut the apples in half and core them. Rub them with the spices from the cutting board & lay them on top of the spice rubbed salmon. Seal the bag properly & place in a 450 oven or an open BBQ grill. Roast for 8-10 mins, then let rest for 5 before cutting open the bag and serving.

Salmon cooks perfectly & quickly in Ready.Chef.GO! BBQ bags. So if you like it moist & just tender, watch the time. Seven ingredients have never been more scrumptious. When baby apples aren’t in season, use fresh or dried apricots or plums or fresh black or blueberries. You can use your favorite dry spice blends like Old Bay, Zatarans, Chili Powder, etc if you choose not to make your own.

1 Tbs Allspice Berries

1 Tbs Celery Seed

Mix well & grind either coarsely or to a fine powder in a coffee grinder or food processor. Customize it to what you have on hand and what you like. Raid the spice rack at home and whip up a batch with reckless abandon.
